As the days begin to shorten, denizens of the Northern Hemisphere can hold on to the warm weather ambiances with Fabergé’s latest airy collection. Summer in Provence expertly captures the mood of a breezy, flower-filled season in the south of France with jewels awash in bright blues, pinks, and greens. Designed to resemble the lively woven fabric of summer dresses, the necklaces, earrings, rings, and watches are rife with ribbons and blooms that sparkle with diamonds, emeralds, and multi-colored sapphires. And do they ever sparkle — especially the timepieces. Fabergé’s gem-setter placed the accessory’s precious gemstones just so into the body of white gold to ensure they shine at their best from every angle.
